No need to get nasty about it . You will know pretty soon . Hopefully by spring . I know I'm and A... hole . I'm actually kind of proud of it .

Who wants to know what my best was?

I have had water get into 3 Min Kota motors . I fixed one myself , the other I brought to South bay which cost me 175$ and did the same thing 2 month later , so I fixed that my self . Not hard to fix . Pull the prop and carefully take out the 2 long bolts . Pull the case apart and if it has water . Spray with WD And PB blaster . And blow out with compressed air blow gun Check the brushes . You can get rebuild kit on line . I put some silicone on the O ring before I put it back together . Works great . It's a very common problem .

I believe to many guys get bogged down in the details of this and fishing in general . When I concentrated on fishing instead of everything else , I started doing way better in all types of fishing .

My goal is to by next spring have a high quality version available to you guys and maybe make a few bucks to justify my fishing addiction in my retirement . My vision is to change what we use to catch these fish . Or more importantly to me , to change the game . Kind of like NK and Pirates did . I came up with something that really works and hope to have it available to help put more fish in the boat for you all. I would think you guys would appreciate that .

3 dipsys 50$ 6 ball bearing swivels 8$ 3 flashers ( 2 the exact same white pro troll .) 40$ 3 of my rigs priceless 2 snubers 8$ And 50$ worth of wire going in the trash. The second Time it happened I said no more but I reconsidered. Then it happened again . So I'm.throwing it out so I won't be tempted . No more

I can tell you this . It is the hottest new Bait for King Salmon on Lake Ontario now IMO . It's pretty much all I use now . I would not want to be without it . And that's the truth . And hopefully by next spring if things go well .........

I'm hard on equipment And I'm probably not as diligent at checking it after every fish as I should . . So I'm back to all braid . Used it forever with 0 issues . I really don't see the difference .I catch just as many on it .

3 break offs in 2 years . 1 I kind of knew of the kink but I didn't think it was that bad . 2 broke when I popped it to change the lure . I didn't do anything extreme . It is Mason 7 strand 30# I'm back to braid . Never had an issue . And I catch just as many .

Ball was going down and it was just gone . Sometimes the cable crosses over on the spool . The cannon riggers are so fast I think when it hit that it jumped and snapped the cable . Why do the riggers of today have to be so fast ? People have no patience .

Did the afternoon run with Ken and Brandon . Ran out to 200 and headed north . After losing the probe and weight 5 minutes in , we trudged on . Anyway , we were 3 for 7 hits . 3 kings , one skip. Gary D rigs w/ white flashers on dipsey At 150 and 189 were the ticket taking 5 of the 7 hits . Ended the night with a double . I dropped two nice fish . Awesome night on the water . Nice to go on someone else's boat and be successful on my rig

I have used a lot of different hooks and my favorite are eagle claw 374 for the money . I keep coming back to them . Fish get off , that's the way it is , there is no explaining it other than maybe thay aren't taking it good and are nipping at it. Some days you loose a lot ,some days you don't loose any . That's why it called fishing

I really landed on my feet when my cottage fell in my lap there . Everything I could ask for .

I fished Sunday , did well on kings ,, and marked very few fish . You don't have to mark them to catch them . Especially this time of year . You should always fish like the fish are there .

It was bumpy as all get out but it was worth it . I will drop off a few more as you got bit off last week and a few replacement inserts . As I recall they took the glo model . I had a newbie and we made him reel in all the fish , which explains some of our landing percentage . But it's all good .

Well I did not get into the Sandy creek shootout figuring no way could I compete with My boat and primitive equipment . But We fished that morning and did quite well as we found a good pod of kings that were biting . We easily had a 75 # box . I don't know where we would have landed . And we ran two rods most of the morning and were having breakfast with my wife by 930 .

After a bust yesterday with a Cancel and A guy who could only fish 2 hrs we head back out today with a double team with Coyote K . Started in 80 with all kinds of bait but no hits . Decided to head out deep and glad we did . 300 ish was the best for us . 65 to 95 down . And again my braid dipsey out fished my wire . I keep hearing how much better wire is . Well , I ain't seeing it . Went 3 for 8 . All good fish 2 hits on spoons . The rest were white flashers and my Gary D rig I think I have finally perfected .Got bit off twice . That I need to fix . One time this summer I did not catch a fish on it . I don't think I have the next great Salmon bait. After 3 summers of testing I now know it .

DETAILS ?

If I were you I would run one flasher each on each rigger fishing the marks As deep as try the fish are . 25 to 35 lead 20 apart vertically . And a mag spoon On each dipsey set on 1.5 back a long way or fish the marks And I love my white flashers . White rocks . And turn a lot , s curves so you lures are going the right speed at least some of the time .

When we get a strong east wind for a day or two the wind pushes the surface water west while the current flows east and pulls the cold water from down deep to the surface . It can be as cold as 42 Dec this time of year surface temp . This is my understanding of how this happens Fishing is bad inshore and to find stable water you will have to go 3 to 15 miles offshore . The fishing can be quite good out there . I head north and drop lines when surface temp reaches around 65 And head north .
